TDKR: Sir Michael Caine Reveals Alfred's Back-Story In New Interview

Dat cowl in the background

" So there I was in the east end playing around with a bit of hows ya father with the local bits of stuff...anyway I gets a call on the ol dog and bone saying there was a war on and I was needed to in afffrica. So like a right muppet I go over ther. Thing is that sort of work is bad for the ol strawberry tart me old son...what with the damn Zulu's throwing these bloody spears at me all the time...so I quit.
So there I am back in the east end with no bread and on me Jack Jones...and to be honest times got so hard I ended up in a bit of Barney Rubble with the ol bill

Just as I was about to do meself in..my ol mate from the knocking shop told me about a sweet lil job in a place called Gotham, rich family with a nice tidy sum locked away in the safe. So there I am in Yank land about to knock off thse posh sods when me ol mate blew the safe and the money...so there I am shouting at the twit since he was only supposed to blow the bloody doors off..when who should walk in..only the bloody Septic Tanks

anyway to cut a long story short...I got done for criminal damage and attempted robbery..but the soppy sod Wayne family took me in on community service

And that's where ive been since...30 bloody years and no paycheque

lucky for me I swiped some of the antiques just before the mansion burned down...so now im well off and heading to Italy ..oh yes I am me ol china..and if I see a Wayne again ill spark em out no worries "

:P

The Burma speech was always awesome from the Dark Knight...

" So there I am in this café...im just about to get up for a Gypsies kiss when who do I see..only bloody Bruce Wayne!!..I couldn't believe me mince pies.

There he is bold as brass with some doris

I mean not only did I slave away for that bloody man for nuthin cleaning that bloody rubber whistle and Flute of his ..but now I have to look at his ugly mug

So I goes over..oh yes...I goes over and say Oi and grabs him by the Gregory peck..Oi I says...you left me with a bloody funeral to pay for and I clocks him in the North and South"

:P

Cipher@ lol..Normaly when I get out me ol fat controller out the Mrs has a Steffi Graf :P

Tea, you are my favorite poster by a MILE. Don't ever leave!

I can't help but hear/read his stuff in his voice. He's like the Morgan Freeman of the U.K. to me....there's an idea; remake"Grumpy old men" with Michael Caine & Morgan Freeman.

@DangerStranger: judging by your grammar so have you.

Michael Caine is the Man!

Pat Hingle invented his own bio for Commisioner Gordon in the previous four Bat-movies that was printed in the official making of books for those films, in which he said, in his mind, he was a beat cop, when Bruce Wayne's folks were shot down and was the first one on the scene and comforted the young Wayne. This was never a part of the comics mythology, but has become a large part of the Nolan movies, so much so that it was reiterated at the end of the franchise. Goyer will have read those making of books, being a real big Batman fan.
So this bio of Caine's could very well make it into the script of a future reboot. Who knows?

in their prime...alfred stomps coulson

@cipher

Read Constantin Stanislavski's trio book on acting, starting with "An actor prepares"

I just learned more British slang than I've ever heard in my life...thanks teabag!
